Taylor Park

This part of the Gunnison National Forest offers a wide variety of loops surrounding Taylor Park Reservoir. Trails range from wide and smooth dirt roads to narrow rugged single track with chunk rock. Those on dual sports can ride over into Taylor Pass and eventually into Aspen.

There are several forest service campgrounds with direct trail access, but there are no services except for a few electric sites at Lakeview Campground. Full RV hookups with direct trail access can be found a short distance away at the Taylor Park Trading Post, a family owned ranch that offers cabin rentals, laundromat, hot showers, general store plus a cafe that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The nearby reservoir has a boat ramp and marina store stocked with camping and fishing supplies. This area is best explored in late summer as some trails can be snow covered in July.
